N6TT shack update
Hi guys,
The four quad monitors are made by Dell and are 22" wide screen. They are used for operating and the internet. The one on the top left is a mirror image of the IC-7800, two 3 GHz computers are hooked to the five monitors. The bottom two I use for general and contest logging. I use DXKeeper for everyday logging and N1MM for contest logging. The top right monitor is on computer #2 a long with the 52" TV/monitor on the wall. The half racks that hold the gear, IC-7800,etc are made by Raxxess ERS 10 (space), I just did a search and found them for 99 buxs a piece. Most of the equipment is housed in these racks.
If you push the home button on my original post it goes to a quick and dirty website I put together which will show the equipment and the shack being built. The shack is completely computerized, and I can operate my station remotely over the internet. I just built two code keyers by K1EL, one stays at the home station and the other hooks through a laptop from wherever I am operating from. Remote control operating has really been fun. check these sites for more info:

Thanks for the kind words, It has taken many years to get to this point where I could build my dream shack. The black desk is granite, called polished black absolute. I realize the pictures suck, but its hard to take black on black with a cheap camera and poor lighting. One day soon a friend is coming over with a decent camera to take some better pictures for my Qsl cards. I hope I answered all the questions.
Any other questions you can email me at
